Certificate in Critical Care Management

The intensive care unit (ICU) is an area specialized where skilled personnel and sophisticated equipment are readily available to manage critically ill patients. It is the most expensive, technologically advanced, and resource-intensive area of medical care. The current trend is that the anesthesia and internal medicine departments share the responsibility of managing these beds. There is a strong demand to increase the ICU beds in all hospitals due to the rise in the aging population and the increasing burden of diseases. However, there is a paucity of trained specialists in critical care medicine.

The Certificate in Critical Care Medicine is designed to address this acute shortage of trained professionals to manage critical care units. It will impart the knowledge and skills needed to provide critical care to patients admitted to the ICU.
